Rutherford College, April 2.—
As I am a student of Rutherford
College and a citizen of Gaston
county, I thought that a few
facta abont Rutherford College
might be of interest to the
readers of the Gazette.
Rutherford College is situated
in a beautiful little town one and
a half miles from Connelly
Springs on the Southern Rail
way. The town is small, but it
is one of beauty. The citizens
all live here for the benefit de
rived from the school. It is ten
miles West of Hickory and
twelve Bast of Morganton. It
Is located on the slope that rises
eradnally to the foot of the nine
Ridge mountains which lie at a
distance of abont thirty milea
north and west. It is almost en
tirely surrounded by mountains,
having the Blue Ridge ou the
north and west, the South moun
tains on the sontb. and the
Brushy mountains of Caldwell
county on the east. These moun
tains surrounding it makes Ruth
erford College one of the most
healtbfnl spots in North Caio*
llna. It is 1350 feet above the
level of the sea. This elevation
helps to make its climate health
ful. Ita climate is also very
mild. Iu winters not being ex
tremely cold nor ita summers
hot. In summer there is a gen
tle breeze from the mountains
which keeps it always pleasant.
beep a very successful one. Up
to the present time 233 students
5tv* b*e.u enrolled. The con
duct of the students as a body
haa been ven^ rood. Although
the work of the classroom is
very essential to becoming a
scholar. « alone is not the great
est. The classroom work iu
connection with the literary
work done by the Undents
makes their education thorough.
In the classroom the student
• tnith. In the society
ball he learns to express that
truth. We may have all the
learning of the world and it we
cannot express it so as to bene
fit others it is of no use to 09
This is the part the Platonic!
the Newtonian, and the Victor
ian literary societies of Ruther
ford college play in educating
the not and daughters of North
Carolina. The annual debates
of these societies came off. the
Platonic tha second, the Vic

Rutherford College is not so
well eqniped as some other col

deal to the accommodations of
the college. A dormitory for
boys has recently been built
which in connection with the
old one affords accommodation

the college building are now
under consideration which, when
carried out, will add a great deal
to the appearance of the building.
Work on the campus is now in

March. 26. 1606.
Rev. James Boyce. President Doe
West Female College, Dae West,
S- c.
Hear Sir:—Responding to your coni
mnnlcHlions oo behalf of Dae West
Female College, Mr. Carnegie de
sires me to say that ha will be glad
to cor.tributa tan thousand dollars
tow^da the coat of a Dormitory
Building when you have raised so
equal amount (or the purpose ia cash
or realizibte securities.
Respectfully yours,
Jas. Buktuam,
F, Secretary.
_ About one year ago applica
tion was made to Mr. Carnegie
for aid to the College, Two
long letters with catsuogs, min
utes of Synod. Slc., were sent.
He began correspondence with
us in January, requiring fall and
detailed iniormatioa concerning
the College. We made a strong
plea for enough money to erect
the dormitory. But be could
not be moved from his nsnal
plan of giving only when imme
fliate mends ol the institution
have given their part. He will
not consider giving except "in
proportion to present buildings,
endowment, equipment, &c."
Consequently we feel, that as
we estimated our brick building
to be worth $10,000, be has given
np to his full limit.
This is s great day for onr
College for women. It opens up
a prospect for enlargement,
equipment and endowment
which its friends never saw be
fore.
This generons gift comes at
an opportuns time. The present
buildings, especially the frame
boilding, are not adapted to the
modern requirements of a col
lege for young ladies. We have
none of the modern conform
and conveniences of heat, water,
light and sewerage, which all
onr competitors have. The
frame building is unfit for any
u*« bu* a barn. Matters are
wwue there this year than ever
before on account of leaks in the
roof which we have been unable
to stop. We have felt that we
could not use that building an
other year. The Carnegie offer
comes therefore in the nick of
time.
But it leaves us • very abort
time to get up our part of the
money and erect the building iu
time for the opening next Tall.
the people ol the
Cbnrcn will respond promptly
we will be able to go forward
with the building and be ready
for the girls the middle of
September.
We need a new building to
accommodate onr increasing
numbers. Tbe normal capacity
of onr building is 70 boarders.
We have heretofore considered
that to be onr limit. This year
we have 97. We will need room
iot cs wnen college opens next
fail. More rooms have been
engaged already than any
previous year at thia time.
Snrely tbe need of new and
comfortable accommodations is
utmost.
The Associate Reformed
Church bat not done anything
for her daughters. Ample and
elegant provision has been made
for her sons. Is it not time she
should provide worthily for her
daughters? Tbe church has
never enjoyed such prosperity—
as strong numerically as
when Rrakine was bnilt and en
dowed and ia many times strong
er financially. Our southern
countnr has not. experienced
such financial prosperity since
the civil war. Under theta dr
Constances we ought to raise
tbe required $10,000 in a few
weeks. Will not the friends of
the College rally around it and
quickly place it well on its feet
and ia the way to large useful
ness and prosperity.
Tbe Presbyterian gives ia its
local columns the following ad
ditional particulars of tbe cam
paign now begun for raising the
ten thousand dollars:
MKAMf FORWARD VOVF.MKXT.
Last week President Boyce re
ceived a letter from Mr. Carne
gie offering to give that institu
tion $10,000 for a girl’s dormi
tory, provided $10,000 additional
was raised by the management.
Pre.ident Boyce and Rev. O. Y.
Bonner, the Chairman of tbe
Board of Trustees, have been
working on this matter lor tbe
past year. The letter last week
wes tbe culmination of thia
effort, which included a visit to
Mr. Cemajlc in New York.
President Boyoc will proceed at
once to raise the $10,000 addi
tjonal. We understand that Mrs.
A. G. Brice of Cbe»ur is suc
ceeding finely with the amount
Synod asked her to raise from
the alumnae. Mr. Carnegie’s gift
brought general rejoicing in col
lege circles here. It means a
forward movement for the D. W.
F. C., and one long needed.
THK CANVASS BKUINS.
The Female College Board—
the members located in Due West
—met hist Monday aod asked
Mr. Boyce to take up bis canvass
at once for the girl's dormitory.
He will begin canvassing in Dae
West this week. The matter
will be presented to the A. R.
congregation here next Sabbath.
Let everybody do tbeir doty.
The cause is a worthy one and
interests everybody in this com
munity.

women know by personal knowl

a formidable and a bewildering
proposition and becomes more
every year. The resources of
human courage, ingenuity and

dealing with her. Never before,
we believe, has she coma Into

—especially the female cook—

Additional complication and
new interest is given this affair
by the fact that whereas moat of

the cook resulting from efforts
to Induce her to cook, tbe
supreme court of tbe Slate of
New York is trying by all tbe
machinery of the law and tbe
power of its ows authority and
dignity to prevent a cook from
cooking. The cook ia Mrs.
